Synopsis : World Premiere of Gene Franklin Smith’s original drama, “Boise, USA”. Based on actual events, the play begins on Halloween 1955, when three men are arrested for “lewd and lascivious” conduct with three teenaged boys. Inflamed by the tabloid press and panicked citizens, Boise’s mayor launches an investigation, which leads to the persecution and imprisonment of suspected homosexuals. Family loyalties are divided, pitting brother against brother, father against son. What happened in Boise then could happen again, anywhere, any time, even now.
